Carpet Cleaning Tips

With Sarasota’s Favorite Maids

Some of us have a love-hate relationship with our carpet. We love the soft fibers beneath our feet and the padded area for our kids to play on. But then when spills occur or someone comes home with muddy shoes, we hate the effort it takes to clean the carpet. Sometimes it makes us want hard floors everywhere! Instead of making carpet cleaning a difficult chore, follow our HouseMaids carpet cleaning tips to get our grime and stains.

What to Do

Vacuum regularly. This one may seem obvious, but vacuuming is your first line of defense in keeping your carpet clean, and the first step in any carpet cleaning endeavor – whether regular cleaning or stain removal. Then get help moving as much furniture out of the way as possible. This allows for the most effective cleaning while not having to worry about damaging furniture in the process, especially wood furniture.

Once the floor is free of furniture and debris, choose a carpet cleaner, or make your own, and test it in a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it does not change the color of your carpet or harm the fibers. Then apply to the entire treatment area. Be sure to get the carpeted areas dry within 24 hours to keep mold from growing.

What Not to Do

Just as important as the carpet cleaning tips to follow are those things NOT to do! For example, don’t wait for the stain to set in – clean it right away to give yourself the best odds in getting the stain up. Don’t scrub the stain, as you could just push the dirt further into the fibers. When cleaning your carpet and stains, only blot with a clean, white cloth. A colored cloth may transfer that color to your carpet. Don’t oversaturate the areas, and don’t forget to rinse the cleaning solution after you apply it. Unrinsed areas will be sticky with residue and attract more dirt.

House Maids has been cleaning our home weekly for 2 years and I can’t say enough great things about them and the owner, Sol. They’re prompt, thorough and very accommodating. They do a fantastic job every time. I highly recommend them!!

House Maids provided an excellent cleaning of our home. When I got home i checked above cabinets, carpet corners, etc.- no dust anywhere. We have 3 children in our household and it can be difficult to clean all the details. My kitchen is the cleanest it has ever been and I will use them again in the future. Staff wears nice uniforms and are very professional. Two girls cleaning and my wife explained they worked, they did not talk to each other, no cell phones, they just cleaned until they finish. I would highly recommend this service for anyone.
